review: HOURGLASS Calligraphy Liquid Eye Liner

i have to admit that i am not a regular liquid eyeliner wearer.

can i tell you a secret?

i can never seem to get the line the same on both eyes. it's so frustrating! it would always be that i would get one eye perfect, from the inner eyelid to the outer part of the lid, the line would be thin and then widen to a just perfect width (you know what i'm talking about, right?), and the other, well...notsomuch.

that was until i was able to try the Calligraphy Liquid Eye Liner by Hourglass. before i tell you how excited i am about this product, let me talk about the packaging: bronze, very attractive and sleek. i love it when a product looks good. it just makes the experience that much more special. with this eye liner, it's as though the Hourglass people knew that a fabulous product needed a fabulous package. who am i kidding? of course they knew, that's their job...(focus monique...) moving on...

this felt-tip liquid liner has to be, hands down, the best liquid liner i have ever tried. i am amazed at the precise application and that the quick-drying formula (no globs or running) really did last all day. even after testing it to see if it would smudge when i rubbed it with my finger, it didn't budge. my eyes looked fabulous all day!

i am so happy with this product. can i say it enough? it creates great definition to my lash line, and helps make my eyes pop. it is truly fabulous- the great color (Cognac--deep brown) and the wearability is unmatched! i do believe i have found my HG liquid eyeliner. i will definitely be wearing this more often!

want to meet the creator of Hourglass, Carisa Janes and the brand's lead makeup artist, Josh Wolf? they will be in Beverly Hills this weekend for a beauty event just in time for mother's day at Barneys. click here for more details.
